[ Upstream commit359c27c6dd] Error return values are supposed to be negative in hdpvr_read. Most error returns are currently handled via an unsigned integer "ret". When setting a negative error value to "ret", the value actually becomes a large positive value, because "ret" is unsigned. Later on, the "ret" value is returned. But as ssize_t is a 64-bit signed number, the error return value stays a large positive integer instead of a negative integer. This can cause an error value to be interpreted as the read size, which can cause a buffer overread for applications relying on the returned size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
